Well worth the effort.

Completed mine 2 weeks ago.

After a nice bath,( the boat that is):
PC7424 for all apps. (First year using the PC7424 thanks to recommendations from CSR people. I love it!)
1. Meguiar's #49 Oxidation Remover (from rub rail up only. It needed it) Orange pad
followed with a (microfiber cloth in all steps)
2. Mothers Sealer & Glaze w/ white pad.
3. Mothers Carnauba Wax w/ black pad.
Last year, I used Meguiars #45 high gloss polish and #56 pure wax
for steps 2 & 3. I thought I'd give Mothers a shot this year.
We'll see how it holds up.
Total time: I'm embarrassed to say!

JVM225,
Is that a '69 Goat? Had one and it has to be one of my favorites! Same color but with a white vinyl top.

I bought a Makita 9227C circular polisher from an aquaintance I have that never used it. $100 and it works great.
Well I had the day off to watch the Midgets......
Any I had a couple hours after getting some errands done this morning and after the kids got back from school to begin some compounding with this thing. WOW!. I'm using 3M Super Duty Compound and I'm extremely happy with the results so far. I don't have time to throw any polish at it yet but just from what I have compounded it is looking great. I'll get some pictures up in the morning.
I have the Porter Cable 7424 to do the polishing and will use Star Brite Poly polish

i wash the boat thoroughly. on toughter stains i've resorted to softscrub with bleach on a sponge MANY times - then a coat of 3m cleaner wax (westmarine or walmart sells it). then a coat of meguiars flagship. you may need to repeat the 3m a couple of times depending upon how much oxidation you have. i have tried every combination and permutation of all kids of stuff and for my older hull, this works the best. btw, i've alsu used meguires wax in a bottle (from pep boys) and i dont see a difference from the flagship other than cost (flagship is almost 3x the price).
see post #12 above for results. your results may vary :grin:
